You and your family will enjoy both making and eating this Drunken Salsa. It is a typical salsa that accompanies the Mexican lamb barbacoa and carne asada tacos. The Drunken salsa was first created in the Mexican state of Hidalgo where the lamb barbacoa originated. In Mexico, the term “barbacoa” refers mainly to the traditional method used to prepare a variety of meats and then steam or slow cook them in their own juice. Although there are several versions of this salsa, they are all made with an alcoholic beverage (tequila reposado, clear beer, or white pulque). Hence the name, Drunken Salsa.
